Gracious Glory

The physical being 											
has a path of its own.											
A rhythmic journey 											
ending alone.												
The soulful crossing 										
something entirely different.										
A wee whisper at birth 										
yet with a centipede endless crawl. 									
A wondering willingness, 										
a natural trek, 												
always to prompt the cosmos										 
that is magnificent.											
This odyssey man’s hand 										
has no authority, 											
only the gracious glory 										
of absolute light,											
which soars in the heavens										
in pure delight.

' the gracious glory of absolute light. ' Such a beautiful thought. God is the light and in Him is no darkness. We have free will and the paths we choose are not always good, but, with learning and understanding, we can find the right path. My heart rejoices in this fact. : ) Hugs, Brandy
